On the signatures of magnetic islands and multiple X-lines in the solar wind as observed by ARTEMIS and WIND

S Eriksson, D L Newman, G Lapenta, V Angelopoulos2014年Plasma Physics and Controlled FusionIF 2.2出版社

We report the first observation consistent with a magnetic reconnection generated magnetic island at a solar wind current sheet that was observed on 10 June 2012 by the two ARTEMIS satellites and the upstream WIND satellite. The evidence consists of a core magnetic field within the island which is formed by enhanced Hall magnetic fields across a solar wind reconnection exhaust. The core field at ARTEMIS displays a local dip coincident with a peak plasma density enhancement and a locally slower exhaust speed which differentiates it from a regular solar wind exhaust crossing. Further indirect evidence of magnetic island formation is presented in the form of a tripolar Hall magnetic field, which is supported by an observed electron velocity shear, and plasma density depletion regions which are in general agreement with multiple reconnection X-line signatures at the same current sheet on the basis of predicted signatures of magnetic islands as generated by a kinetic reconnection simulation for solar wind-like conditions. The combined ARTEMIS and WIND observations of tripolar Hall magnetic fields across the same exhaust and Grad–Shrafranov reconstructions of the magnetic field suggest that an elongated magnetic island was encountered which displayed a 4RE normal width and a 43RE extent along the exhaust between two neighboring X-lines.

我々は、2012年6月10日に2機のARTEMIS衛星と上流のWIND衛星によって観測された太陽風電流シートにおける、磁気リコネクションによって生成された磁気島と一致する最初の観測を報告する。その証拠は、太陽風リコネクション排出流を横切る増強されたホール磁場によって形成される、磁気島内部のコア磁場からなる。ARTEMISにおけるコア磁場は、プラズマ密度のピーク増強と同時に起こる局所的なディップを示し、これは通常の太陽風排出流横断とは異なる特徴である。磁気島形成のさらなる間接的証拠として、三極ホール磁場の形で提示され、これは観測された電子速度シアによって支持され、またプラズマ密度の減少領域は、同じ電流シートにおける複数のリコネクションX線シグネチャと概ね一致し、これは太陽風様条件における運動論的リコネクションシミュレーションによって生成された磁気島の予測シグネチャに基づくものである。同じ排出流を横切る三極ホール磁場のARTEMISとWINDの複合観測、および磁場のGrad–Shafranov再構成は、隣接する2つのX線の間の排出流に沿って4REの法線幅と43REの広がりを示す細長い磁気島が遭遇されたことを示唆している。
